Description

1 FUEL TANK 6'='9 S C-1 The present invention relates to a fuel tank for
an automotive engine, having two tubs.
Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open 63140163 discloses a fuel tank with a barrier dividing the tank into two tubs. In a first tub a fuel pump communicates with the engine through a fuel delivery line. In the second tub, there is a transfer pump for transferring the fuel therein to the first tub. Services holes for each pump are formed in an upper wall of the tank. Each pump is supported by a stay provided on a cap for the hole. Consequently. many parts are required in the tank. In addition, since the service holes must be sealed, maintenance of the seal is troublesome. The stays must be sufficiently rigid, so that weight of the.tank is great.
Furthermorer the caps, which are supporting members of the auxiliary devices such as the fuel pump and the transfer pump of the fuel tank, are not integral with the body. Thereforef the position of the auxiliary devices changes depending on the position of the caps. Hence it is difficult to accurately position the auxiliary devices.
An object of the present invention is to alleviate the aforementioned disadvantages of the prior art.,
According to the present inventionr there is provided a fuel tank having a projection which divides the fuel tank into two tubs, a supporting member secured to 2 the projection, to mount on auxiliary device a service hole formed in a wall of the fuel tank opposite the supporting member to provide for servicing the auxiliary device and a cap securable to the fuel tank for closing the service hole.
In an aspect of the invention, the auxiliary devices include a fuel pump and a fuel metering unit. Pipes for the fuel pump are passed through holes formed in the cap. The fuel tank and the supporting member may be made of plastics and secured to each other by welding. The auxiliary devices are preferably secured to the supporting member by a dovetail joint.
The other objects and features of the fuel tank according to this invention will be understood from the following description which refers to the accompanying drawings; wherein,
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a first embodiment of the fuel tank; 3 Fig. 2 is a sectional view showing a part of the fuel tank; Fig. 3 is an elevational view of the fuel tank; Fig. 4 is a plan view of the fuel tank; Fig. 5 is an exploded perspective view showing a supporting member and auxiliary devices of the fuel tank; and Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a second embodiment of the fuel tank@ Referring to Figs. 1 to 4. a fuel tank made of plastics is disposed along the underside of a floor panel of a motor vehicle. A longitudinal protrusion la is provided at a central position of the bottom of a body 1, thereby dividing the body 1 into a left tub lb and a right tub lc. A propeller shaft of the vehicle passes through a space under the protrusion la. The right tub lc is communicates with a filler pipe 2 at the rear thereof (Figs. 3 and 4).
A fuel pump 4 and a jet pump 6 are provided in the right tub lc as auxiliary devices of the tank. The fuel pump 4 is connected to a delivery pipe 3 through a fuel pipe 4a (Figs. 2 and 5) and the jet pump 6 is communicated with a transfer pipe 5 provided in the left tub lb through an intake pipe 6a so as to transfer the fuel from the left tub lb to the right tub lc. The jet pump 6 is connected to a return pipe 13 from fuel injectors (not shown) through a 4 pipe 6b. Metering units 7 and 8 having float arms 7a, Sa and floats 7b, 8b are.provided in the tubs lb and 1c, respectively, for individually detecting quantity of fuel in each tub.
A plastic. supporting member 9 is fixed on the upper wall of the protrusion la by hot welding for supporting the auxiliary devices of the tank at respective predetermined positions. Referring to Fig. 5, the support member 9 has a first vertical dovetail groove 9a facing the right tub, a second vertical dovetail groove 9b facing the left tub lb and a pair of vertical slits 9c. A first bracket 10 on which the fuel pump 4 and the fuel pump 6 are attached is engaged in the first groove 9a and attached thereto. A second bracket 11 is engaged with the second groove 9b. The left metering unit 7 and the transfer pipe 5 are securely mounted on the second bracket 11. In the slits 9c, legs of a third bracket 12 carrying the right metering unit 8 are inserted. By thus mounting the first to third brackets 10, 11 and 12 to the support member 9, the auxiliary members of the tank are placed at the predetermined positions in the right and the left tubs lc and 1b.
As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the tank body 1 has a service hole ld at an upper center portion thereof opposite the protrusion la. for inspecting, adjusting and replacing the auxiliary devices. The service hole Id opposes a check hole (riot shown) which is provided in a floor panel of the 1 vehicle body. The service hole ld is covered by a screw cap 14 through which the delivery pipe 3 and the return pipe 13 pass.
In operation, the fuel in the right tub lc is supplied to the injectors of the engine by the fuel pump 4 through the fuel pipe 4a and the delivery pipe 3. A part of the fuel returns to the jet pump 6 through the return pipe 13 and the pipe 6b. The fuel in the left tub lb is transferred to the right tub lc by the jet pump 6 through the transfer pipe 5 and the intake pipe 6a. The quantities of the fuel in the tubs lb and le are separately detected by the metering units 7 and 8, respectively.
Fig. 6 shows a second embodiment of the fuel tank of the present invention. The fuel tank 15 comprises a deep tub 15a and a shallow tub 15b so that the transfer pump for transferring the fuel from one tub to the other is unnecessary. A fuel pump 16 and a metering unit 17 disposed in the deep tub 15a are mounted on the supporting member 9 in the same manner as in the first embodiment.
In the double-tpb fuel tank according to the present invention, the auxiliary devices such as the fuel pump,.
transfer pump and fuel metering units are mounted inside the tank.by only one supporting member. Hence two heavy stays used in a conventional tank for supporting the auxiliary devices are obviated so that the number of parts in the tank and the weight thereof,a minimised. Since both the body 6 of the fuel tank and the supporting member are made of plastics, the tank is light weight. The auxiliary devices are easily mounted on the supporting member by engaging the brackets to which the auxiliary devices are attached with the grooves formed in the supporting member. Since there is only one service hole, which is covered by the cap, the maintenance thereof is simple relative to that of the conventional tank with two service holes. The supporting member is fixed to the protrusion so that the position of the auxiliary devices are accurately determined rather than changing the mounting position thereof in accordance with the -position of the cap of the service hole. Only one check hole is necessary in the floor panel of the vehicle, thereby improving the rigidity thereof.
While the presently preferred embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it is to be understood that these disclosures are for the purpose of illustration and that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
